FL woman exposes breasts to protest cleavage

MANATEE — A 42-year-old Bradenton Beach woman was arrested at Bayshore High School this week after she exposed her breasts to protest another woman’s exposed cleavage, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

Laura Campanello, a parent of a child at the school, caused a disturbance at about 11:20 a.m. Monday when she started to yell that another woman who was enrolling her child at the school, was showing “too much breast,” according to a deputy’s report.

The deputy told Campanello that the woman was an adult, and “I cannot tell her what to wear as long as she is not exposing herself.”

Campanello responded, “Oh, then I can,” while reaching into her blouse and pulling out her breasts. “And then I can just do this,” while squeezing them together, the report states.

The incident took place in the front office and was witnessed by the deputy, Campanello’s husband and two other people, according to the report.

Campanello was charged with disorderly conduct and released from the Manatee County jail after posting $220 bond.
